Where Russia Ends is an essayistic road movie that interrogates the overlooked histories of settler colonialism and environmental destruction in Russia-occupied indigenous lands. In 2022, a number of previously unknown film materials had been discovered at the Science Film Studio in Kyiv, documenting several filmic expeditions undertaken in the 1980s by a group of Ukrainian filmmakers to various parts of Siberia and the Far North. These materials are the starting point for the recovery of erased histories of multiple imperialist wars that the Russian state had waged against its current colonies.
